Our Senior Chef works from 6am - 2pm, so once settled into the role and all training is completed, you will be responsible for overseeing the second half of the day and coordinating the KAs (support from the Head of Product is always on hand!) - Confident using a computer to input basic data into our systems / locate and print files etc - High level of spoken and written English Benefits - £28k pro rata - 30 days holiday pro rata inclusive of bank holidays - We believe in rewarding our staff, so, on successful completion of your probation period there is an opportunity to enter into the employee EMI option scheme
